Complete Blood Count (CBC) and metabolic panels measuring: white blood cell counts (total and differential — neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, plus standard chemistry (glucose, creatinine, liver enzymes, electrolytes).
Reading this chart
Y-axis shows total white blood cell count (x10^3/uL). The rise from 6.5 to 9.1 during flight confirms what the molecular data shows: the body mounted an immune/stress response. This is your sanity check — if your molecular scores say 'inflammation' but WBC is normal, something's wrong.
This is the clinical anchor for all other omics data. Low lymphocytes confirm transcriptomic findings of immune suppression. Elevated neutrophils confirm cytokine-level inflammation. Provides clinically validated reference ranges that give context to molecular findings.
Direct counts (cells/uL) and concentrations (mg/dL). Compared against established clinical reference ranges. Percentage change from individual baseline. The simplest math in the entire dataset.
All AP-level math. No differential equations, no ML required. With n=4, descriptive statistics are more honest than hypothesis testing.
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio elevated (stress indicator)
Hemoglobin changes consistent with space anemia
All values returned to reference ranges post-flight
Confirms molecular findings at clinical level
Validation layer for your dashboard. If your molecular-derived 'Inflammation Score' is high but CBC shows normal WBC... something's wrong with your scoring. Use as sanity check and as the 'clinical summary' tab.
